Dairy Queen is, first and foremost, an ice cream spot. Blizzards, dipped cones, and sundaes are probably the real reason you stop by. But at some point, they decided to toss burgers on the grill too.
And it’s not just the frozen treats coming out of the deep freeze. Dairy Queen’s burgers start frozen, too. While the chain proudly states that their patties are 100% beef, there’s no mention of whether they’re fresh. Employees, however, have been pretty clear — they’re not.
According to reported employees online say, Dairy Queen’s patties arrive frozen which are placed on a conveyor-style grill that passes them over a flame before dropping them into a warmer, where they sit until it’s time to assemble your order at any given Grill & Chill locations.
